So I was just thinking about this little story so I thought I would blog it!
Sophia got her ears pierced when she was 4 months old. It went really well and I am so glad we did it. The lady who pierced them told us it would be best to keep the earrings in until she turned one year old and then not to switch them to often. When I got home that day I told David - "hey, wouldn't it be cool to get Sophia some simple diamond earrings for her 1st birthday?" David (of course!) said "NO WAY!"
Fast forward to three weeks ago. We are sitting on the floor in our hallway playing with the kids. (See I remember it so cleary!) I start telling David about some new earrings I got for Sophia. I explained to him that I didn't really want to take Sophia's studs out because they have a very secure back on them and the new earrings are just the normal backs. David then tells me "well, don't diamond earrings have screw backs?" I tell him YES! He says "We should have gotten Sophia diamond earrings for her 1st Birthday."
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!!!!! I was so mad but all I could do was laugh! This is why men can drive you crazy! I then reminded him of our conversation 8 months prior and he told me I should have explained it better back then!
Well - 8 months ago we decided that Sophia would get diamond earrings on her 16th birthday since it will be her "Golden Birthday" - so that is still the plan. I did tell David I better get some before her! :)

Noah needs some attention
So I've blogged a couple times about Sophia and don't want to leave Noah out!
Noah will be 3 years old in January. It is hard to believe he will be 3! Wasn't he just born yesterday? He has been an amazing child. He has taught me so much. It has brought me smiles and tears - happy and sad!
Noah was a tiny bit delayed in his speech. We never thought he would talk! Over the last few months that has sure changed! I love hearing about the world from his perspective. He is also obsessed with cars! He loves the movie CARS! He can play with his cars for hours and he makes up little scenes for them.
One of the greatest things about Noah is that he is an great big brother. Sure - he can hit her and take toys from her - but that's normal, right?! He adjusted so well to her when she was born. Our biggest problem with him when she was born was that he was too loving! He is also a great helper. Now - don't get me wrong! He doesn't obey all the time but he is learning and it tests me to be consistent with him! Mama has to learn and grow too.
So - that is a little bit about my precious son. He is so much fun and makes the days fun and worthwhile! Life takes on so much more meaning when you have kids. You learn to be more selfless and sacrifices for them come easily.
Now - on to potty training!! :) That will be an adventure I'm sure you'll want to know about!

Happy Birthday Sophia Mahree
One year ago today Sophia Mahree was born! Today we celebrated by going to MOPS and having a lazy afternoon. Papa K came over for dinner and Sophia got a couple more gifts. It was a very nice day - even if Sophia won't remember it!
A year ago right now I was in a hospital room holding a newborn. She was tiny and had that amazing baby smell! Now she is sleeping in her crib and will wake up if I even take a peek in her room! So much has happened over this last year. We've had some trials and we've had some great joys! I've already written about how hard it has been for me to accept that my baby is 1 year old. But with it all being said and done I'm just thankful. I had a difficult pregnancy with Sophia and I am just THANKFUL that I have her and I can't wait to see what her future holds. She is so different from Noah and it is an adventure every day with her.
So, Happy Birthday Princess Sophia! You are simply a precious gift from God. I am beyond blessed to be your mama. I'm looking forward to the many more birthdays we have to share!

Time to Party
Tomorrow is Sophia Mahree's birthday party. I'm not ready for this! Not just that I am simply not prepared - I still need to make cupcakes and most importantly pick out an outfit for her to wear but I am not emotionally ready! I was talking to my friend today and I said what makes it hard for me this time is that she is my last baby. During each of her milestones there have been tears of joy followed by tears of sadness. So this whole turning 1 year old seems to be too big of a milestone for me to handle!
The most depressing book ever is by Karen Kingsbury and it's called Let Me Hold You Longer. Here is the first page "Long ago you came to me, a miracle of first; First smiles and teeth and baby steps, a sunbeam on the burst. But one day you will move away and leave to me your past, And I will be left thinking of a lifetime of your lasts..."
The book goes onto talk about how we never know that last time we will rock our child to sleep or even cut up there food! Since reading this very depressing book (I truly do love it and the author - it just makes me cry) I've tried to enjoy each precious moment with both of my children. They grow up so quickly and I don't want to look back and say "why didn't I just take more time?"
So it all leaves me with this - I don't want my sweet baby to grow up but I'm so excited to see what she does next! I will rejoice in her growth and will probably always shed a tear.
Ahh - I feel a little better. But I think I may go and read that book - better get some tissues!
Oh - Heather C. if you read this - I know you told me not to buy the book! :)

Not Me Monday
So here is my 1st "Not Me Monday"
Last Tuesday I did not miss MOPS because I was sick. Nope - NOT ME - I hate missing MOPS! Thinking it wasn't a big deal I reluctantly went to the Doctor and was in SHOCK when she said I had strep throat. Her exact words "umm that doesn't look good"
Last week my son did not scream and yell NO at the babysitter. Not my kid - I raise wonderful, well-mannered children!
I did not have a complete and utter meltdown which resulted in massive tears when I started thinking about my baby girl and the fact she is about to turn 1 year old. Nope - NOT ME - I'm fine with the fact she is growing up way too fast.
I did not wait until December 5th to put up my tree. I always put it up the day after Thanksgiving. So why would it have gone up so late? No clue!
I did not miss church yet again on Sunday morning. That must have been me you saw at church, right? I wasn't laying in bed sleeping because my back hurt. Nope - NOT ME - I never miss church.
And lastly - I am not writing this while my baby girl cries herself to sleep. NOT ME - I never let my kids cry. Remember - I'm a perfect mom!
